I Application filed October 2S, 1902. Serial No. 129,065. (No model.)v

To a/ZZ whom it may con/carre:

Beit known that I, JOHN BEAN, a citizen of the United States, residingat Los Gatos, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Nozzles; and I do herebydeclare that the followingr is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ofthis specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The present invention has for its object to provide a simple andeffective nozzle adapted for connecting with a pump, reservoir,or otherconvenient source of supply containing the liquid to be dischargedthrough the nozzle in a spray or solid stream, as circumstances wouldrequire, the shell or body of the nozzle through which the liquid passesbeing so constructed that all drippage and leakage in the nozzle will beimmediately taken in 'by the draft of the suction and carried out withthe spray or stream of liquid, thereby preventing the same fromaccumulating on the edges or lips of the opening in the shell or body andropping off therefrom.

The invention therefore consists in a nozzle constructed substantiallyas shown in the drawings and hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure l of the drawings is a perspective view of a nozzle embodying myinvention; Fig. 2, a side elevation partly in section.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the shell or body of thenozzle, which is provided with a suitable coupling B, preferably havingscreW-threads upon its interior for connecting thereto a tube, pipe, orhose or connecting the coupling directly to the vessel or reservoircontaining the liquid. Any suitable means, however, may be employed forattaching the nozzle, so as to make a communication between it and thesource of supply, as found most preferable, said coupling having aninleta to communicate with the contracted outlet b for the discharge ofthe liquid, the outlet extending .diametrically through the plug valve Cand said plugvalve having a suitable handle D for turning it. Theplug-valve is retained in the shell or body by means of the screw-nut cengaging the screw-nipple d thereof, a washer e being interposed betweenthe nut and the lower end of the plug-valve. The opening in front of theshell or body A extends nearly the entire length thereof, leaving aweb fat both the top and bottom to properly retain the valveplug in the shellor body and form a bearing therefor. or body have inclined lip or lips gh, both lips at their inner ends joining an outward proj ection of anysuitable form and construction, which I will term a tongue 'L'. Theouter sides of the lips g h serve the purpose of carrying to the tonguet all drippings and leakage, where it is immediately taken in by thedraft of the suction and carried out with the spray. i

Heretofore the edges of the spray fell short on account of the frictioncaused by the outer sidesvof the spray having to travel a greaterdist-ance on the edges of the lip of the side wall of the body or shellthan the center of spray; but the employment of a projection or tonguegives the same friction to all parts of the spray, and therefore musttravel the same distance after leaving the nozzle, there- Y by providinga nozzle that will throw a spray without drippage and without any partof th spray falling short and being wasted. It is evident that anysuitable form and construction of lip and any suitable form andconstruction of tongue may be used without departing from the spirit ofmy invention, and any such changes as would come within ordinarymechanical skill and judgment may be resorted to, as found mostpreferable.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is- Y l. In a nozzle, the shell or bodythereof having a tongue upon its side wall which extends out beyond theedge of said wall and of a less width than the length thereof,substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. In a nozzle, the shell or body thereof having double inclined lipsand a projection or tongue to which the inner ends of the lips join,substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
